Commanding centuries from Tom Westley and Matt Critchley laid firm foundations from which Essex cruised to their second Metro Bank Cup victory of the campaign.
Westley’s 104-ball 129 was his 11th in List A cricket, and second of the season, He shared a lively third-wicket stand of 122 with Critchley, whose 102 not out came from just 75 balls.
The pair’s innings slightly overshadowed that of Noah Thain, who took his total in five games in the 50-over competition to exactly 400. His partnership of 139 in 20 overs with his captain broke a 54-year-old club record for the second wicket against Worcestershire.
